as a libertarian,apartofthe republican movement, thisdidromneyin,i think, is the fact there's a social agenda that scares most americans, and that is anti-gay, anti-women's rights, anti-immigration. look, that's not the future. i think that we are absolutely, socially accepting of others' behavior as long as others' behavior doesn't do harm to us, and, yet, this remains centrist within republicans. i'm disheartened by the fact there's so many people who identify themselves as libertarians, but they don't vote that way. john: i didn't think romneyas anti-woman, but we're out of time. thank you, all. coming up, i'll explain how to fix government, but one clue, we should fix it the way we fix a cat.

in the fact that for months we heard from the conservative freak show and from some people intheromneycampaignwho were not part of that freak show but were still making this argument which was that all the polls were skewed, every one of them were skewed. what turned out in the end was that the only way you could get to a belief in the inevitability of mitt romney's victory was to skew your own polls. so the conservative polls that showed romney winning were imposing a view of the electorate onto those polls that turned out to be false in the event. and in fact in the romney campaign's own polling, they basically had to go in and say no, no, we don't believe the party i.d. and the ethnic composition of the electorate that we're seeing in the actual polling. so we're going to put fake -- we're going to impose our own new framework on this so that we can come up with the answer that we want. and it turned out on election day that that was as foolish and as ridiculous as anyone did in this election. >> they were dead wrong. >> the other thing that could be happening here is a self-reinf

to remember is coming off the heels of this election, where we had the republican nominee beingmittromney, wehad elements of the tax structure, elements of the tax code that were part of the conversation, that were never part of the conversation before. elements of capital gains tax. elements of, you know, of deductions and what all that means the american people are primed and ready for this conversation, particularly because we just spent the past 18 months talking exactly about this issue. >> i agree. and nick, one more point here that david frum raised, a republican voice, but a reformest republican voice, when he look broadly at the budget, we spend seven times as much on seniors and people 55 as we do on children and programs that are broadly considered more progressive. when you look at what happened last tuesday, people over 45 went for mitt romney by over six points. so one thing frum said is, what are we doing talking about decimating the programs that help our base and what are we doing constantly pretending that entitlements aren't for us? we benefit as much as anybody. >> i

, the way i saw it. whatmittromneyandpaul ryan were doing was to shore up the republican base. the idea in the 21st century anybody would spend any time trying to determine -- and paul ryan is a part of that -- when is a rape ok, and when is rape not ok? someone said the next time they heard a republican questioning something about rape, i want to cut their tongue out. the conversation last night, he had to say that, because he could not eliminate his base. so i guess, the long answer, my point is that they spent too much time cobbling and shoring up their base and not enough time -- cobbling -- coddling and shoring up their base and not enough time elsewhere. they had the edge going into this election, and they blew it. host: calling the pollsters shysters. guest: some of them i would not trust on anything. host: let's go to pennsylvania. independent line, good morning. caller: if you could elaborate on two things. some schools have come out with studies that say if you watch fox news, you are less informed than somebody who does not even watch the news, and secondly -- and that is the
